WATER GARDENS Demonstration of a small liner pond.

Bob explains about Cutting Gardens.

The group of pictures below will show the process of pond building.

The hole is dug with the ledges added for the flowers. Jill is exiting the pond.

The first liner is dropped in and a rock is dropped to sink it. Jill gets in the to fold the liner to conform the pond.

The final liner is left in the sun to make more pliable.

The short trip to the pond where it is positioned on top of first liner.
 

Jill gets in to fold all to conform to the shape of the pond.

Lois starts to fill in the water, and as it fills the folds are adjusted.

Carefully position the first stone into position.

The stones are starting to take shape around the pond.

The ring of stones are done, and the excess line is cut up to the rock border.

Lois is holding the starter plants that have to be added to the pond.

The lilies and flowers are in. The pond looks great. A few plants around the outside will add dimension.

This is Bob pond.
